This is a difficulty patch for Donkey Kong Country. It makes the game harder by removing the DK Barrels (which restore your lost character), Star Barrels (checkpoints), Warp Barrels (level skips), and Donkey Kong himself! To progress, you must beat every stage with just Diddy! It’s inspired by the unlockable “Hero Mode” difficulty setting in the Game Boy Advance version of DKC.
